Interesting draw weight comparison

[saumensch]

I meassured the actual draw weight i have on my fingers at my draw on two of my bows and got a quite interesting outcome:

Bear Hunter TD I Recurve 50# @28", 60";
Bob Lee Signature LB TD 54# @282, 62";

@ my 30 "draw the Bear had 58# and the Lee 59#!
So only 1 # difference remaining though there should be 4 ? Is it a sign of the BEar stacking or just coincindence?

thought you might find it interesting too.

Looks like stack to me.

Is the initial weight the marked weight or the measured weight?  The amount of stack on the Bear looks a bit high.  Shorter bows will stack faster, all other things being equal, which they aren't in this case, of course.

Those old TD limbs stack quiete a bit.This is good of you have your draw lenght around 28" because it acts like a cliker.

I don't think any 2 bows stack the same...no two sets of limbs are the same, limb design is different etc. I hade a super k that was 44 @28 and only went to 51@31.

Did you check the weight of the Bear at 28"? Bear is notorious for putting the approximate weight to the nearest 5# on the bow. They used to put the actual weight under the strike plate. It would not be unusual if yours is actually 52# @ 28", in which case it really isn't stacking much at all. I have seen several that were a pound or two off. I had a Black Bear once that was marked 45# on the limb, but 47# under the strike plate. My bow scale agreed with the 47#.

On the other hand, if it is actually 50# @28", then, yup, it is starting to stack a bit at 30". Neither scenario would be surprising.
